Aug 17-18 New Catalog 2 Featuring New stamps, accessories, colors and paper from the 2013-14 catalog.

Now back to my card, and the Washi tape........

This is the first time I've used Washi Tape. SU has some pretty ones coming up in the new 2013-2014 catalog.

To make the rosette I cut a strip of Daffodil cardstock 1 inch x 8 1/2 inch. I added the Washi tape to the strip. After that the strip was scored 1/4 all the way across. After I pleated the folds I glued the ends together to form a ring then it was glued to a cardstock circle. I used the 1 3/8 circle punch for that. I find it is easier to use a low temp glue gun for the rosette. Holds together better. Lastly I added a vintage button which will also be in the new catalog. Love them!

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I've been crafting for as long as I can remember. I love to stamp, sew, and use different mixed media in my crafting. Along the way I'm sorry to admit that I put on extra weight. In 2008 I joined Weight Watchers and have since lost 80 pounds. I'm currently still working on my weigh loss journey which I'll also be sharing with my readers on this blog. I'm getting closer, but still have more work to do. My family and friends have been a great support to me. My hubby Skip who've I've been married to for over 30 years has had to suffer through healthier meals. My daughter Sarah who has also lost weight helps me to stay on track. We share great recipes, and give each other encouragement. My son John still lives at home, and is also a great help to me. Don't know what I'd do without him.
